Homework Statement
Problem:a)Plot amplitude of Echoes 3 and 4 as a variety of R = 0-1. Discuss reasonable range of R which is suitable for imaging.
b) R=|z1-z2|/(z1+z2) (acoustic impedances: z1 and z2). Calculate acoustic impedances of fat, water, and other materials composed of human body from multiplication of density by sound speed. Discuss the differences of reflection coefficients between the area 1, which contains water and the other area 2, which contains fat.
c)Discuss about real imaging, by considering the difference in problem b)

Answer:
I don't understand about a and c. I just tried to solve b but my answer is still lacking for part b. Can anyone guide me about how to solve these problems and what I did wrong in part b.

I don't understand about a
It is asking you to plot graphs of ##T^2R^3## and ##T^4R## against R, over the range ##0<R<1##, given that ##T=1-R##.

For b, https://www.schoolphysics.co.uk/age16-19/Sound/text/Acoustic_impedance/index.html gives a slightly lower value for ##z_{fat}##, making about a 14% difference to the answer. But you should work with whatever values you were given.
You have mistyped a sign in the denominator.

Btw, the word is "artefact", not "arch-fact".
 
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
